Sutherland plays Ellie, a mother of three who lives in a Los Angeles apartment. After one of his children finds a “mysterious book” of which no part can be found Evil Dead The media could do without, Ellie becomes possessed and turns into “the most nightmarish version of motherhood”. However, that doesn’t stop her from trying to get a “big kiss” from her kids.
“I mean, I hope no one has a heavy relationship with their mom, because this might be a bit of a trigger. Yeah, it might be. But can I tell you that I used to talk about how I used to be quite a people pleaser and I’d like to. sacrifice and then kind of suppress all of that anger because like I don’t respect myself, and that anger is what I used to do this. So I kind of got it out and it was therapeutic for me,” Sutherland said.
Sullivan plays Beth, Ellie’s “estranged” sister, who has recently come to visit her family when she gets caught up in the franchise’s supernatural madness. During this time, Beth ends up being on the unfortunate end of a cheese grater in a moment that quickly went viral. He also takes care of his niece Kassie (Nell Fisher) and vows to get them out.
“The responsibility of family and taking care of others and how intense it can be and how much it can consume your life. And then what I love with the horror genre is how it puts it in a blender and laughs at it, Let’s look at it, but also allows people to put female roles on a pedestal. It just breaks them and just lets you laugh,” Sullivan said.
First the cast, now the crew
Cronin is a filmmaker who, in addition to directing, also wrote the script for the fifth film. Before boarding Evil Dead franchise, Cronin did too A hole in the ground, which he co-wrote with Stephen Shields. It was a horror film in which Seána Kerslake played a mother whose son first disappears and then when he returns he starts behaving strangely.
“There’s a good one. That’s the hardest question I’ve had on the carpet so far. I think it allows us to look at the dark spaces that sometimes we fear the most. As sometimes, through the entertainment of a horror movie, you can actually think about existential things. You can think about death. You can think about the darker side of life and I think people get a real buzz. But for me it’s also horror, it’s just that buzz you get when you get to see a movie,” Cronin said.
Campbell has been with the series since the beginning, playing the hero Ashley J. Williams in each one Evil Dead film so far in addition to acting Ash vs Evil Dead and a couple of video games. Ash is known for his iconic chainsaw hand, equally iconic “boom arm” and use of the word “groovy”.
“I think they think my mom wasn’t as bad as I thought she was. She was just an alcoholic. She wasn’t possessed,” Campbell said.
Evil Dead Rise It was originally slated to premiere in 2022 on HBO Max. However, it won the approval of both Campbell and original director Sam Raimi. Evil Dead Rise survived the Discovery merger and was promoted to theatrical distribution. At SXSW, the film received a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, with one dissenting voice from the audience who was booed out of the audience. In other words, all signs point to the movie being pretty good.
